Episode Overview

Hidden fees are one of the most debated and least understood topics in the parking industry. In this opening episode of a three-part series, the TPN team takes a candid look at how these practices developed and why they continue today.

Drawing on decades of industry experience and real-world observations from financial and operational reviews, the conversation traces the evolution of parking agreements from high-risk lease models to today’s management agreements.
